Install with Gale
AshOxygen
AshOxygen makes Ashlands lava less punishing and lets you mine Charred Fortresses. An optional setting also lets equipped melee weapons damage fortress pieces, much like ordinary stone structures.
Features
- Lava:
DamageMultiplier = 0.20reduces environmental lava damage to 20% of its normal value for players running the mod. Heat buildup, slowdown, warnings and visuals remain intact. Ordinary fire, enemy attacks and Ashlands ocean heat damage are untouched. - Charred Fortresses: Pickaxe hits work against fortress walls, gates, pillars, spikes and fractured wall layers. The default
RequiredPickaxeTier = 3is the Black Metal Pickaxe tier. Pickaxe damage is not increased. - Optional melee damage: Turn on
DamageWithMeleeWeaponsto let physical hits from an equipped melee weapon damage the same fortress pieces. It is off by default. The weapon's actual physical damage and any existing physical resistance or weakness apply; physical immunity/ignore is lifted for these hits. Ranged attacks, spells, enemy attacks and pickaxes are unaffected.
The fortress feature covers WearNTear, Destructible and MineRock5 components. Other structures remain unchanged.
Installation
Install through a mod manager with BepInExPack for Valheim. For manual installation, put AshlandsQoL.dll in BepInEx/plugins/AshOxygen/. If you previously installed version 0.1.0 manually, remove its old DLL from BepInEx/plugins/AshlandsQoL/ first. Restart Valheim after installation or configuration changes.
Configuration
After launching once, edit BepInEx/config/LoIYver.AshlandsQoL.cfg or use an in-game configuration manager (usually F1). All option descriptions are in English.

Multiplayer
Install the same version on each client and on the dedicated server/host so damage to server-owned fortress pieces is processed consistently. Keep fortress settings equal on all peers. Lava reduction applies to each player running the mod. This package does not synchronize settings automatically.
